IMI NIES
HEADS DE GRAFT
Police Official, Lawyer, and
Hotel Man Control ‘System/
Grand Jury Hears.
NKW YORK. Aug IS.—When the
grand jury, which la Investigating the
murder of Gambler Herman Rosenthal
and graft in the police department re
sumed its labors today, District At
torney Whitman was ready to present
the evidence to sustain allegations that
a high police official in the department,
a prominent lawyer and a hotel keep
er are in control of the "system" which
has extorted millions in blackmail from
gamblers and other law breakers.
Detective W. J Burns, who has been
investigating police conditions in New
York some time for the district attor
ney’s office, is reported to have fur
nished Mr. Whitman with names of th.
■ three men who are charged with belli,
at the head of the graft syndicate.
f Developments of the utmost ini|.< .
. tance are expected to result from ti.
> session of the grand jury beginning to-
I day. This was the session designed to
reveal the identity of the "men higher
■ up." who far fears have been talked
about vaguely as beneficiaries of the
New York police graft system, but who
have eluded exposure.
It was predicted that seven Indict
ments would be returned, one of these
against Sam Schepps, the "murder pay
master.” who was caught In Hot
Springs. Ark.
A superseding Indictment against
Police Lieutenant Charles A. Becker,
one of the principal figures in the
scandal was also looked for.
Becker Has Safety Vault.
Attaches of the district attorney's of
fice admitted that evidence has been
piling up at a swift rate that Becker
has maintained a safe deposit box in
a down-town vault since last Decem
ber Mr Whitman claimed not to know
tlie contents of the box, but there was
every indication that he believes it is
stuffed with currency which came to
Becker in the form of tribute from the
underworld. The box Is under guard
constantly, and no one can get into it
without the district attorney's knowl
edge.
As the present session of the grand
jury is expected to last until Thursday
or Friday w ithout a break, Schepps will
in all probability be back in New York
In time to testify if he will consent to
go before that body. On the other hand,
if the "paymaster" makes a confession
lie probably will not be called upon to
testify. In ’his stead men connected
with the police underworld alliance
whose names he could furnish will be
summoned by Mr Whitman.
Among the witnesses subpenaed to
appear before the grand jury today
were "Bald Jack" Rose, "Bridgey"
Webber and Harry Vallon, who caused
Lieutenant Becker's arrest for murder.

JACK ROSE, GAMBLER, WRITES
HIS CONFESSION FOR GEORGIAN
(Copyright, 1912. by Star Company.
AU rights reserved. Any infringe
ment will be vigorously prosecuted.)
By JACK ROSE.
The gambler who declares that Lieu
tenant Becker forced him into the
plot to slay Herman Rosenthal.
NEW YORK, August 13.—1 have
been asked to write for The
Atlanta Georgian on "Gambling" and
life in the so-called "underworld." It
is something to think over. ■ I am a
man 37 years of age, with a devoted
wife, two handsome boys and of par
entage that 1 can boast of. My early
life was in an environment that should
have influenced me to a useful life.
At one time I had friends who would
have helped me to acquire a station in
life that was worth while. All are now
a memory of the past. As 1 sit in my
cell I look back with a heart filled with
sorrow and regret, and all caused by
one thing, “The curse of gambling.”
1 gambled away everything, first my
own money, then the money I could
borrow from my friends; then my
credit; then my word of honor. When
nothing remained wherewith to gamble
I let myself become a tool In the plot
ing of a man's life. It resulted in my-
!f and three of my dearest friends
lulng the charge of being accessories
’ the murder of Herman Rosenthal.
Wants to Start Over Again.
I don't know how it Is all going to
end, but if ever I again set my feet on
the pavements as a free man I want to
take my wife and boys to some place
where in some way I can start-life over
again.
With gambling I am through. If
some young man starting on the road I
have traveled will read this and turn
back I will feel that some of my suffer
ing has been worth while.
As a young man 1 drifted into the
state of Connecticut. In the city of
Hartford I launched the Charter Oak
A. C. it was a boxing club, at which
we gave monthly exhibitions.
1 added to this another club in
Bridgeport, and one in Waterbury. I
also acquired a baseball franchise in
the Connecticut State league
AU these ventures brought me in
close contact with sporting men Soon
I took to gambling
Known as a Good Fellow.
My gambling in Connecticut was
confined to friendly games of poker, as
the state of Connecticut does not pos
sess any public gambling houses.
My business as matchmaker and
manager of the athletic clubs called
for frequent trips to New York to meet
boxers and their managers. I attended
boxing exhibitions and stopped at a
Broadway case or restaurant, all of
which usually led to a visit to some
gambling house uptown
The game 1 mostly played was faro
bank. Like all gamblers. I had friends
when my run of luck was phenomenal,
and then my winnings run into thou
sands.
1 always traveled with a crowd with
whom I enjoyed the reputation of be
ing a "good fellow," one who would bet
his money and would also spend it
I had a reputation to sustain, first,
the "good fellow" end of it, which
meant when I won I divided my win
nings or spent them; another part of
my reputation was that 1 would bet the
limit against the "bank." If I had real
ly bet what 1 ought to. in keeping with
my means. 1 would still have been
playing In tile friendly "penny ante"
poker game up in Connecticut.
on my return to Connecticut after
my trips to New York the poker game j
had lost its attraction for me.
I began making excuses to my asso
ciates to get down to New York again
The gambling fever was on me, and
lite in Connecticut was getting slower
all the time.
I was making money in Connecticut,
besides enjoying tlie confidence and re
spect of many of its most prominent
citizens
On any one of my trips to New York
1 lost mbre than my three boxing clubs
could earn for me in several nights.
Soon 1 began borrowing right and
left from my friends in Connecticut
hoping against hope that some one
night 1 would "bust" tlie "faro bank"
and pay everybody
That never came. Soon my asso
ciates began questioning the cause of
my frequent trips to New York, my
constantly increasing demands for
money and my failure to pay my debts
after a division of profits from the
boxing clubs
All this required explanations, as my
associates were all men of standing and
high honor.
I remember one day, when I owed
my partners personally considerable
money and when the day after an un
, usually successful show at one of our
clubs we were settling up. I asked them
if they would please favor me by let
, ting me have my share in full and per
. mit tny indebtedness to them to stand
until the next show.
I gave as an excuse that a matter of
great importance down in New York
required my immediate attention. I
needed, I sajd, just about the amount of
my share to straighten it out. They
readily agreed, and one of my partners,
a prominent hotel man, said:
"Why, Jack, if when you get down to
New York you find that you need more,
don't hesitate to draw on me.” 1 got
my share, about $1,500, rushed and got
the 5 o'clock train out of Bridgeport.
Seven o’clock that night found me oc
cupying a front seat at the "faro bank."
Twelve o'clock that night I walked
out of there penniless, with the colored
attendant helping me on with my over
coat, mumbling away at me about
"Have a cigar?” and all the other
things they keep saying to a loser.
I was all in a daze, as my affairs
were coming to a crisis. 1 could not go
on much longer; my good friends in
Connecticut would soon begin to sus
pect the truth.
Begins Hunt For Money.
1 walked out into the street and im
mediately began thinking where I could
get more money to play the "bank"
with.
I would have sold my soul for mon
ey to continue playing. 1 thought of my
friend who that very day had told me
not to hesitate to draw on him If I
needed money, but that wouldn't be
good until tomorrow.
So I went into the hotel, got on the
long distance telephone and got him
out of bed, told him something terrible
had happened and couldn't he suggest
some way that he could get SSOO to me
at once.
He said. "Go over to so-and-so,"
naming a prominent hotel keeper, “and
ask him to get me on the phone.” This
I did.
The result of the talk was that the
hotel keeper handed me five SIOO bills,
and I was back at the "faro bank" and
"broke" again before 3 a. m.
1 got up from the table and again
had to pass through the torture of lis
tening to all the trained attendant had
to say to me about "how they will run
against a man when he has a streak of
bad luck.”
Couldn't Bear to Face Friends.
I walked out on the street like a
drunken man. I realized then that to
go back to Connecticut was out of the
question. I couldn't bear to face my
friends and creditors there. My in
debtedness then in Connecticut repre
sented several thousand dollars, all lost
in gambling, as well as the large sums
I had made in my many sporting ven
tures.
I sat down in the hotel and wrote
several letters to my partners and
others in Connecticut, making a clean
breast of everything That ended my
career in Connecticut, a golden oppor
tunity thrown away "to be a man
among men.” and all through my love
for "gambling.” «
I remained in New York and gave
myself to a life of "gambling ” Dur
ing the racing season I played rhe
races At other times I frequented
i "gambling houses." All 1 was accumu
lating was a reputation that gam-
I bling" had taken such a hold on me
that mine was a "hopeless case." and I
could soon see that their attitude to
ward me had changed.
Becomes Gamblers' Associate.
Then I became the associate of gam
blers exclusively, and made my head
quarters downtown, where gambling
went on in a smaller way. But just as
soon as 1 accumulated a sufficient sum
to entitle me to gamble in the more
pretentious houses uptown, where the
chances of winning a large sum was
tlie bait, I made for them.
, At times I made large winnings, and
with the exception of paring a few
pressing things, always kept the bal
ance intact, and would make my ap-
• pearance promptly at opening time and
plaj Almost invariably I finished
. broke
. When these periods of. as we term
, them, bad luck." come along. I would
be overcome with a feeling of- emorse
and regret and begin to plan and figure
to break away from "gambling" and
my gambling associates.
It was about this time that two life
long friends of mine who were in the
theatrical business showed a disposi
tion to help me if I would quit gam
bling.
I promised I would, and they were
kindness itself. I began to acquire a
knowledge of the theatrical business
and looked forward to an opportunity
to get in business for myself.
He Is Idle; Drifts Back.
About this time an unfortunate thing
happened. My two friends dissolved
partnership, and the one I remained
with for the time being couldn’t assist
me to realize my ambition. I helped
him along in his business part of each
day. Affairs went in such a state that
with too much idle time I drifted back
to my old ways and associates. 1 was
soon at it again hammer and tongs
"gambling" hard as ever.
I had then joined the Hesper club
and spent most of my time there. My
friend in the theatrical business began
to meet with great success, and I was
looking forward to the chance that had
been promised me.
AU this time my friend helped me in
every conceivable way, excepting the
way I hoped he would. He supplied
me with all the money I wanted to keen
at "gambling.” On many occasions he
paid my gambling debts, and when my
run of hard luck was unusually long
and I felt ashamed to go to him. I re
sorted to methods that caused hint con
siderable embarrassment, such as bor
rowing from his partners or making
promises when negotiating a loan that
my friend would pay for me.
He spoke of my methods on many
occasions, and eventually they led to
an open quarrel.
Wag Rosenthal's Chum.
Then I drifted back down town and
became indifferent to everything and
anything but "gambling.” Most of my
time was spent in the company of Her
man Rosenthal.
Right here I want to say, without
violating a promise made to District
Attorney Whitman, that for years Her
man and 1 w ere the best of chums. We
often had our differences, but never of a
serious nature. They were the quarrels
that come to men who have given up
their lives to the “hell of hells”—gam
bling.
When things went wrong we blamed
each other. Each thought the other
should have done the other thing—"bet
on the other horse, or to have played
the opposite system at the bank”—but
soon we would patch it up and then
everything was all right again. We
continued on trying to get rich over
night.
Dispute Over Winnings.
I am just thinking of a strange freak
of fate. Herman and 1 had been or.
the outs for quite a while over a mis
understanding we had as to what should
have been the proper division of some
money 1 had won playing "faro bank.”
Gamblers have certain laws of their
own, and our dispute involved the
question of a gambler's point of law.
I had at Herman's suggestion made a
loan of S2OO from a friend. We went
up town to gamble. On our way I said
to Herman. "Whatever 1 win half is
yours." I started playing and soon won
SI,OOO, cashed in and quit, handing Her
man SSOO as his part of the winnings,
as pet agreement. We left the place
and returned’down town. We sat around
the Hesper club a while, when some
one else in the club said they were
going up town to play the "bank."
He Beats "Bank” Again.
I said I would go, too. On my way
out 1 stopped to ask Herman it’ he
would come along. He said he had
enough for that night. I went alone,
played again, and won SSOO. The fol
lowing day 1 met Herman, who had al
ready heard the result of tny second
play He greeted me with "I can just
use that $250. Jack."
"I said, "What $250?"
"Why. my part of that SSOO you won."
"Why," 1 said, "you are joking."
"No." he said. "The last thing I
said as you left the club was I am in.'
which, if 1 had heard him say, or if it
had been said in the presence of a third
party, entitled him to his share.
But 1 had not heard him. nor could
he produce any one who heard him
say it.
So I refused him his half. It result
ed in a quarrel and we were not on
speaking terms until one night some
time after he met me on Fourteenth
street, in front of Tom Sharkey's case.
He asked me in to have a drink and
we patched it up.
From this same case, about four
'ears later, started the gray automo
bile w hieh ended its ride in the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, and al 1 through
gambling JACK ROSE
REDEES. BEATEN,
MASSACDE 20D
Zapatists, Defeated by Feder
ate, Slay Garrison of 100
and 100 Townsmen.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13.—Two hun
dred persons were killed, one hundred
of them townspeople, following an at
tack on the town of Ixtapa, in the state
of Mexico, by Genevevo De La Or’s
band of Zapatists. Today the soldiers
have withdrawn from the town and are
marching toward Toluca, the capital of
the state, which is only fifteen miles
distant.
The fight and massacre at Ixtapa oc
curred late yesterday after the rebels
had been repulsed by a garrison of 600
federals at Tenancino, a town in the
vicinity of Ixtapa. A garrison of 100
rurales guarded the latter place. The
rebels charged and drove the rurales
back into the narrow streets of the vil
lage. There they began a murderous
fire, and hardly one of the rurales es
caped.
Then the rebels marched through the
streets, shooting and stabbing any one
they met. Among the dead, it is said,
are a few women and-children. Two
hundred bodies lay in the streets, ac
cording to reports today, after the reb
els had withdrawn.
Rebels in the vicinity and at Toluca
are in a state of panic because of the
rebel activity. There is only» a small
force of federals at Toluca, and it is
believed they can not withstand the
rebel attack. Many persons have fled
from the city.
Only One Killed
In Attack on Capital
SAN JUAN DEL SUR, NICARAGUA.
Aug. 13.—One person was killed, sev
eral women and children were wounded
and a dozen or more buildings were
riddled by shells in the bombardment
of the capital city of Managua by rebel
artillery Sunday, according to a dis
patch received here today. It. was
stated, however, that no foreign prop
erty had been damaged. The rebel ar
tillerymen apparently took pains to
prevent firing into the consulate build
ings.
When the message was sent the rebel
batteries of General Luis Mena and
General Zeledon were still planted be
fore the city, while the defending bat
teries were kept shotted on Loma hill
for a renewal of hostilities. The casu
alties were caused by the bursting of
shrapnel shells.
During the firing the United States
bluejackets from the gunboat Annapo
lis were kept near the United States
consulate out of the path of the shells.

TAFT CONSIDERS
INTERVENTION
> -
Discusses Situation With Sec
retary Knox—Would Be in
Line With Policy.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.—Angered
by the insolent attitude of the Nica
raguan rebels and their persistent ig
noring of the warning sent to them by
the United States. President Taft and
Secretary of State Knox toda.v dis
cussed a policy of intervention in Nica
ragua.
The secretary of state called at the
white house shortly before the regular
cabinet meeting, bringing with him
messages from Minister Weitzel, tell
ing of bombardment of the rebels and
the danger to foreigners and their
property in Managua.
Both the president and secretary of
state agreed that it would be entirely
compatible with the present foreign
policy of this country to take entire
charge of the government of Nicaragua
and maintain a military supervision
over it until peace is restored.
Whether this will be done depends
on later messages from Minister Weit
zel. According to dispatches already
received, no foreign property in Ma
nagua has been seriously damaged, but
there is great danger from flying shots
and crumbling debris in the native
quarter. Generals Mena and Zeledon
persist in ignoring the protest of the
resident diplomats and have announced
that they will continue the bombard
ment of the city until President Diaz
recognizes the new government.
Three hundred and fifty marines who
left Panama on Sunday were due to
arrive at Corinto today, reaching Man
agua tonight, unless halted by the un
certain railway communication between
the two cities. They will assist the 100
bluejackets from the Annapolis in main
taining order and protecting property
in Managua, and may be used at the
discretion of Minister Weitzel to at
tack the rebels if the latter lire on the
foreign section.
The protected cruiser Denver, carry
ing 300 bluejackets, will reach Corinto
probably late tomorrow night, landing
her crew immediately if necessary. In
addition, the navy department is hold
ing 400 marines at Panama ready for
instant movement.

a rope in rescuing the woman. She
was completely exhausted when landed
on the shore.
